FAQ

Is it free?

Yes. The editor is free and ad supported, with no account and no watermark on your exports.

What can I add?

You can add real AcroForm fields, not images. Here is what each tool does in plain language, plus when to use it.

Monoline Text

What it is: A single line text field. If the text is longer than the visible width, the content scrolls inside the box. Good for: names, dates, short codes, amounts. Controls you set: width, height, font size, alignment.

Multiline Text

What it is: A multi line text area that wraps lines. Good for: addresses, comments, descriptions. Controls you set: width, height, font size, alignment. Give it enough height if you expect longer answers.

Checkbox

What it is: An independent on or off tick box. Good for: yes or no items, multiple selections that can be checked together. Controls you set: width, height, name. Place it over the printed square on your PDF so the click target matches the visual.

Radiobox

What it is: A circle option that belongs to a set where only one can be on at a time. Good for: title, shipping speed, payment method. Controls you set: width, height, group name. All radios that share the same group name form one exclusive set. If two questions toggle each other, give them different group names.

Dropdown

What it is: A pick list that shows one selected value. Good for: country, size, department, fixed vocabularies. Controls you set: width, height, a comma separated list of options, for example Small, Medium, Large. Keep labels short so they fit when printed.

Link

What it is: A clickable area that opens a URL. Good for: privacy policy, help pages, terms of service. Controls you set: width, height, URL such as https://example.com. Whether it opens in a new tab depends on the PDF viewer.

Do you store my files?

No. The editor runs locally in your browser and your PDF is not uploaded. If this ever changes, we will update this page and the Privacy policy.

Which browsers are supported?

The latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Mobile works, desktop is easier for precise placement.

Compatibility and printing

Fields are real AcroForm widgets. Your exported PDF stays fillable in common viewers such as Adobe Reader or Acrobat, macOS Preview, and built in browser viewers. The light highlights you see while placing fields are on screen helpers. They are added as non printing annotations and do not appear with normal print settings.

Printing tip: If your viewer offers a mode named Document and Markups, that mode can print on screen annotations. For clean output, print the document content only.

Can I reuse a field layout?

Yes. You can export the field layout as JSON in the editor, then import it onto a similar PDF later. It is a fast way to keep field names and positions consistent across forms.

How do I add a signature or date today?

Until dedicated widgets arrive, place a Monoline Text or Multiline Text field where the signature or date should go and label it clearly. Recipients can type or use their viewer’s drawing tool to sign. Many viewers also offer a date insertion tool during filling.

Any limits?

Very large files or very long documents will render more slowly on older devices. Desktop memory and CPU give the best experience. There is no watermark and no hard page limit in the editor itself.

Do you collect data from my PDFs?

No. Your PDFs are not uploaded. Site analytics and ads measure page usage, not document contents. For details, read the Privacy policy.

Can I pre-fill or lock fields?

You can set defaults while designing, for example the first dropdown option. After export, whether a field can be edited or locked depends on the viewer and any security settings you apply outside this tool. Advanced protection is not part of the editor at this time.

Do you support special fonts or right to left languages?

Standard fonts work well in most viewers, and right to left input is handled by many viewers at fill time. Complex scripts or custom fonts may look different depending on the viewer. If a form will be used in multiple languages, test your exported PDF in the viewers your audience uses.

Where can I learn the basics?
